From deepest Texas comes GOOP. The result of a toxic waste spill mixing with a nuclear radiation leak, GOOP presents a mutated new wave/punk sonic attack that calls directly back to early DEVO, Fad Gadget, and The Cars.

Goop’s first album is Synthetic Reasons, 11 absolutely mad tracks featuring the vocal stylings of Max Trash and Eddy Current, plus band mates Billy Lazer and Mick Quark. During the recording of Synthetic Reasons, Billy Lazer claimes to have played at least one note on every synthesizer ever made. The album is described as “new wave for the Goop Age” and will thrill any fan of old new wave or today’s new wave redux bands like Nancy Boy, The Prima Donnas, Epoxies or The Dials.

Turntabling Records is proud to present Goop’s Synthetic Reasons, soon to be available on iTunes, Amazon, Napster and elsewhere. It is now available for immediate download and look for additional information on the band, the music and the Texas indie scene coming soon to this space.

Track listing for Synthetic Reasons includes:

1.  Prom Night Overdose

2. Nuclear Xmas

3. Mutations

4.  Life

5. Wraparound Shades

6.  Do It

7. Negative Capability

8.  Space Voyage

9.  Quitting Time

10.  Styrofoam!

11.  Theme From Goop

Andy Warhol’s Vinyl

Media, , , , , , , , , ,

Turntabling.net is many things, including a record label and a blog about vinyl albums and related ephemera. This one falls squarely into the “related ephemera” category. Andy Warhol’s Vinyl was loosely based on A Clockwork Orange, and while he might have been exploring similar themes, this one looks a lot more like deleted scenes from Night of the Living Dead (don’t ask me why) than the Kubrick movie.

This feature-length Warhol stars several well-known regulars including Gerard Malanga, Edie Sedgwick, and Ondine. This clip does feature the use of an actual vinyl record (not that I’m THAT geeked out, mind you, just a bit of trivia) and Edie Sedgwick smoking. Some people get all excited about that sort of thing, so there you go.

Crevice Live at Flight Gallery 2/14

Paisley Babylon’s Joe Wallace reunites with Crevice for this performance at Flight Gallery @ 1906 S. Flores San Antonio, Texas on Valentine’s Day. This is a special performance by one of the classic Crevice lineups. Featuring James Cobb, Bryan Stanchak, James Sidlo, Jeff DeCuir and Paisley Babylon’s Joe Wallace, this version of Crevice goes back to the band’s roots. Crevice was known for using a combination of mutated jazz sounds combined with theremin, Moogs and other analog synths to create atmospheres ranging from deceptively calm to violently psychedelic.

Before their shocking live debut in 1996, Crevice were obsessively toiling away in the studio, abusing equipment to its limit in search of the perfect headphone trip.

One hundred and fifteen instruments were used on their debut CD–everything from giant Moog-monster insect soundtracks to super-chill acoustic panoramas. Two of the group’s three members were working on outside soundtrack projects at the time, so it’s no surprise that Crevice sounds more influenced by Apocalypse Now, The Shining, 2001, or Forbidden Planet than by any particular rock band.
